All GEORGE SAUNDERS Quotes about “Kindness”

“What I regret most in my life are failures of kindness.”
“Err in the direction of kindness.”
“As a fiction writer, one of things you learn is God lives in specificity. You know, human kindness is increased as we pursue specificity.”
“"Kindness" can mean a lot of different things. In this case, I felt I had to present his [Donald Trump's] supporters in as fair a light as possible - many of them hadn't been interviewed before and that entailed some interviewer-courtesy in the editing and so on.”
“I think kindness is a sort of gateway virtue - having that simple aspiration can get you into deep water very quickly - in a good way.”
“It's not fiction's job to be photographically representative of reality. If I want to make a fictional world where there's no kindness, this doesn't mean I believe there's no kindness in the real world. In fact, what it may mean is that I very much value kindness. Like if you make a painting in which only greens are allowed, it wouldn't mean you don't believe in blue.”
